The Brewery: The brewing of beer for the monks’ own use commenced in 1862 in Abbay Scourmont in Chimay. In 1933 the ‘Trappistenbier’ name was trademarked. Only beers made by monks in an Abbaye can take the name "Trappist".
Origin: For the 150th anniversary of the brewery, this beer was brewed in a limited edition, only 150,000 bottles. But the consumers and the staff of the Chimay Brewery liked it so much that, in agreement with the monks, it was decided to make it a definitive beer.
Food: It pairs wonderfully with cod, mussels, skate or 'coquilles St Jacques', accompanied by a sauce containing shrimps or capers.
